Conflict, pain, brokenness, and loss are all around us. This world is fallen and trials are inevitable in this life.

This week, Brody looks at Paul’s life of trials and hardships, and examines how he relied on the Lord. Paul bore the scars of persecution that showed he belonged to Jesus.

Because of Christ and what he’s done for us on the cross, we are free from the punishment our sin has earned. Let’s fix our eyes on Christ and share this good news with those around us.

How do we address this cultural issue of students not wanting to step into adulthood?

We are seeing a lack of maturity from young adults in today's culture. In this episode, Brody walks through 7 issues we need to address with the mentality some young adults may have. Our goal as parents, youth pastors, and mentors is to see the students under us step into adulthood with confidence, and the qualities we see in 1 Corinthians 13:11.

Let’s encourage and equip the young adults we know by pointing them to the Lord and showing them what Christ calls them to be.

Scripture tells us Demas thought the world offered him something greater than what the Lord provided. People are often influenced by the latest movement or ideology, but these movements don’t last.

However, the Gospel is unchanging. It is eternal and outlasts cultural movements. Let’s hold fast to Jesus and pursue him faithfully.

What is shaping the way you view relationships and sexuality?

The world is pressuring students to figure out their gender identity. We need to seek Christ and show students how to fight sexual immorality. In this episode, Brody points out 4 things we can learn from Romans 12 that push us to commit to walking with Christ in this area of our lives.

Pornography and sexual immorality are heart issues. As we’re being conformed into the image of Christ, we’re going to make mistakes. But we can live in freedom because we have Christ’s Spirit living in us.

Our Modern Day Babylon pt. 2 Jan 30, 2024

Send us a text

We live at a time where everything ordained by God is under attack in the world. The danger we face today is being influenced to embrace a new brand of Christianity that isn’t Christianity at all. In this episode, Brody continues to look at the life of Daniel and compare it to what is happening in today’s generation.

Daniel and his faith outlasted the Babylonian empire; we will outlast this cultural current. God will always preserve a remnant that will outlast cultural ideologies. Let’s impact and equip this generation to be faithful in culture today.

“Daniel was living in Babylon, but his eyes were fixed on Jesus. We are living in Babylon, and we must fix our eyes on Jesus.”

Our Modern Day Babylon Jan 30, 2024

Send us a text

Today's culture does not want you to pursue God. In Daniel 1, we see how the Babylonians tried to stop Daniel from pursuing the Lord by influencing him through their culture. In this episode, Brody talks through the parallels between Daniel 1 and what is going on in society today.

God has called us to live at peace in the world but not with the world. Daniel resolved to stay faithful to the Lord even when no one around him was. Let’s be faithful and stand for what Jesus stands for.

A World Opposed to the Kingdom of God Dec 04, 2023

Send us a text

In a post-christian world, culture will reject anything that is associated with Christianity and embrace anything that is anti-christian. Postmodernism is a rejection of objective truth. We are seeing this today in secularism and the decolonization movement. In this episode, Brody sits down with Jon Rouleau to discuss secularism and how we should view these movements as believers.

These movements will lead to hopelessness. The world is working against the kingdom of Jesus. We were created to worship God. Let’s have confidence in the Lord and stand strong in our faith.

The Weight of Sin Nov 08, 2023

Send us a text

We can grow to be unaware of our sin and become comfortable with it. As believers, the righteousness of Jesus clothes us, making us holy and free from our sins. We must remind ourselves of Christ’s sacrifice when we dwell on the weight of our past sins.

In this episode, Brody speaks on the weight of Adam & Eve’s sin and the first sacrifice in Genesis 3. For us, there was one sacrifice for our sins, and we will never need another. Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was sufficient.

Believer, know the weight of your sin, the One who paid for it, and then walk in faithfulness and obedience to Jesus.

4 Things That Define a Man or Woman of God Oct 16, 2023

Send us a text

What are you going to flee from this week? What are you going to pursue?

These are questions we should ask ourselves in our pursuits to be more like Christ. In 1 Timothy 6, we see Paul instructing Timothy on how he should behave and what he should strive for as a believer. Paul was a mentor and spiritual father to Timothy. In this episode, Brody walks through 4 things that define a man or woman of God.

A man/woman of God is defined by what he/she flees from.
A man/woman of God is defined by what he/she follows after.
A man/woman of God is defined by what he/she fights for.
A man/woman of God is defined by what he/she is holding onto.

Believers, let’s run towards something that is stronger than sin and is able to deliver us. Run to Christ, and fight for the things Christ fought for.

Engaging Social Media with a Biblical Worldview Sep 04, 2023

Send us a text

Social media desensitizes us from the dangers it holds.

The companies that run social media platforms have a distinct worldview, and they’re pushing their agenda constantly. So, we need to be aware of the effect it has on our minds. In this episode, Brody sits down with Jon Rouleau and Harry McSween to discuss how social media is affecting our culture and our thoughts.

If social media is here to stay, then it’s an area of life we can engage with the Gospel. We have an opportunity as believers to redeem some areas of these media platforms. However, it’s crucial we train young people to become resilient disciples of Christ on social media—and in life.

As New Testament believers, how do we apply the Law to our lives? Jesus came to fulfill the Law, not abolish it. The Law exposes our sinful desires and tendencies.

The Law was given at the beginning of the nation of Israel; which laws are we supposed to follow today? In this episode, Brody walks through how we live between the tension of the law, legalism, and our freedom as believers.

Jesus cares about your heart. Scripture has called us to be obedient to Jesus. Don’t live legalistically. Christianity is not about following a dress code in church. Let’s extend grace to each other and give God glory in everything we do.

Send us a text

The testing of your faith will produce steadfastness.

In this episode, Brody shares some thoughts from Genesis 22 and describes how Abraham responded to the Lord in obedience. Let’s look at this story and have a better understanding of what it is for the Lord to take us through trials to grow our faith.

Abraham believed the Lord was going to deliver Isaac. True faith displays itself as simple obedience. Trials give us an opportunity to grow in our faith. Let’s walk in faith by obeying the Lord intentionally and aggressively.

Eve’s Failure & What We Can Learn From It Mar 06, 2023

Send us a text

God called Adam to lead, provide, and protect. God called Eve to love and help her husband. In Genesis 3, we see both Adam and Eve do the exact opposite of what they are called to do. Women in our culture tend to flex their independence or are content with being dominated. Let's consider Eve’s interaction with God, her husband, and the serpent.

We need to recognize the way we are naturally bent toward sin. Let’s fight our flesh and restore relationships to the way God intended and designed them to be.

What Does it Mean to be a Disciple of Jesus? Feb 27, 2023

Send us a text

What is discipleship?

As believers, we are called to study the teachings of Jesus through his Word and then model our lives after him. A disciple is not someone who no longer sins or is perfect. We have freedom over sin but must go to war against our flesh daily. Jesus has already taken dominion over anything that had dominion over me.

Let’s strive to be obedient to Jesus and follow him.

Who is the Devil? Does he have power over us? In this episode, Brody walks through 1 Peter 5 and discusses misconceptions we tend to have about the Devil.

The Devil is an enemy to the believer, but he does have limitations. While Jesus is our advocate, Satan is our accuser. Satan has no power outside that which God allows him.

Let’s have an accurate view of the Devil and recognize him as the enemy. Believers, rest in the truth that Jesus has authority over Satan. Rest in Jesus.

Just because you get important people to approve what you’re doing doesn’t make it right. We see this in 1 Kings 1:1-2, where Adonijah sets himself up as king and has support from those around him. He does not seek the Lord in this decision but instead exalts himself to this position.
In this episode, Brody walks through this story of Solomon becoming king. Solomon becomes king because of the plan and purpose of the Lord. God’s people will always work together to advance his plans and his kingdom.

Let’s live with conviction and only worry about what the Lord says.

In this episode, Brody sat down with Katie cousins, a pro athlete and friend of Snowbird, to hear about her time playing soccer for Angel City. They discussed what’s coming next in her career.
While living in a liberal and progressive context, Katie had to stand strong when attacked for her Christian faith. Katie experienced conflict within her team and from soccer fans around the country on social media. This is how she trusted the Lord throughout it all.

Believers, we need the Lord daily. And, we need community with one another. Let’s be immovable (together) in the face of adversity.

Masculine Virtues | Strength Nov 28, 2022

Send us a text

In this episode, Brody continues looking at masculine virtues according to the Scripture by focusing on strength. As men we are called to be strong, physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Part of this strength comes from discipline. Men, be disciplined in our pursuit of the Lord, personal education, relationships, and how we entertain ourselves.

From a position of strength, let’s love others well and be the men God has called us to be.

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” -1 Corinthians 16:13

The beauty of the Gospel exists even in the midst of broken situations. Today, Brody walks through Genesis 34, where Dinah, the daughter of Jacob is defiled and her brothers have to rescue her.

This story has no happy ending except for the hope the Gospel offers. There is no redeeming quality in humanity. We need a rescuer. Jesus is that rescuer. Jesus entered into the darkness of humanity to save people who can’t save themselves.

Listen to be reminded of God’s plan of redemption for us. Even when we didn’t want it, Jesus came to save us from our sins.

The Transfiguration & the Glory of God Nov 07, 2022

Send us a text

In Luke 9, Jesus revealed his glory in the transfiguration. Throughout history, there have been glimpses of God’s glory being revealed in specific ways. But, there wasn’t a full disclosure. The gospel accounts reveal the Lord’s glory through Christ’s life and ministry.
But, what can we learn from this revelation of God?

Let’s consider the radiating brilliance of Christ’s appearance, the presence of Moses and Elijah, and the disciples' reaction. We must live our lives for the glory of God — knowing one day he will return in glory.

Let’s be people of action. Jesus is the answer for these women. We need to live lives that reflect our beliefs about the Gospel. God is at work, and He wants us to be busy with what He is doing.

Biblical Aspects of Masculinity Oct 03, 2022

Send us a text

Our society is attacking the identity and role of men at an alarming rate. Masculine traits and characteristics are being removed, so we need to look to the Bible and refocus on our purpose.

What has God called men to do and be?

In this episode, Brody looks at 1 Samuel 14 and Michael Foster’s book, “It’s Good to be a Man”. Foster examines the core Biblical aspects of masculinity. Men are called to be providers, warriors, and leaders — in their homes, churches, and communities. And, it all began when God designed Adam to lead and work and keep the garden.

Let’s stop complaining. Let’s stop making excuses and be the men God has called us to be.

12 Commands From Paul to the Believer Sep 26, 2022

As believers, we tend to overanalyze the Christian life and make it harder than it needs to be. Jesus commands us to love God and love people. In this episode, Brody looks at 1 Timothy 4 where Paul is instructing Timothy as a young pastor on how to live the Christian life faithfully.

3. Avoid worldly myths and fables.

4. Train and discipline yourself for personal godliness.

5. Work hard.

6. Command and teach right doctrine.

7. Live with integrity.

8. Focus your life and ministry around the centrality of Scripture.

9. Use your gifts.

10. Be passionate.

11. Grow.

12. Persevere.

A Warning Against Drifting Jul 18, 2022

Send us a text

Why do people who once faithfully served the Lord, turn away from Jesus?
In John 3, we learn that it’s an issue of the heart. People love the darkness because their hearts are evil, not because there is no light. In this episode, Brody walks through 6 dangers and temptations that lead to apostasy.
Let’s be aware of what causes the drift and fight against it. Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus and pursue Him.

Growing In The Knowledge of God's Word Jul 14, 2022

It’s not always easy to be faithful to the Lord. There are forces and things pushing against our desires for Him. We have to put in effort and fight the enemy attacking our minds.
Today's episode is from our Respond Women's Conference, where Brooke Lovingood walks through Mark 4, and shares how it remind us to be aware of the soil of our souls. Let’s grow in our knowledge of God's word by letting it be planted in rich deep soil. Let's be so aware that when a thought enters your mind that goes against God's word, you are able to say that it's not from Him.

A Conversation About Women in Ministry Jun 27, 2022

Send us a text

Today Brody sits down with Brooke Lovingood, a former Snowbird staff member who now works in the youth ministry at FBC of Watkinsville.
Brody and Brooke discussed what the Bible says about the roles of women in marriage and ministry. God has laid out certain roles for a man and a woman, and these roles that are equal but different.
Christianity is the most dignifying religion when it comes to women. The world tells us that a woman’s role is contrary to what Scripture says, but Jesus gives women a platform to minister and to serve within His design.
Let’s strive to be counter-cultural to the world and align our minds with the Bible.

Active Faith is Enduring Faith Jun 20, 2022

Christians are not created for inactivity. We’re called to be a people of action, driven by faith.

As Brody wraps up the life of Saul in 1 Samuel 14 with the Snowbird summer staff. The focus of the Old Testament turns to Saul’s son, Jonathan. Jonathan shows us what active faith looks like, while Saul showed us what inactive religion is.

The testing of our faith will produce endurance. You’ve got to look a little bit crazy when you live by faith—it won’t make sense to the world. We are the remnant in a dark and dying generation. So let’s live out our faith and pursue the Lord well.

The Slide of Saul Jun 14, 2022

Send us a text

Anxieties and struggles should teach us to depend on the Lord more, not turn away from Him.

As Brody continues to look at Saul’s life with our Snowbird summer staff, he walks through 1 Samuel 13. This is when Saul begins his slide away from the Lord. Every drift starts somewhere, but it will stop at the moment of repentance. Sadly, Saul’s faith eventually weakens through his disobedience.

Christians aren’t called to inactivity. Let’s labor in the work of the Lord, pursue personal holiness, and invest in other people.

The Rise of Saul Jun 06, 2022

Send us a text

We can not hang our hope on earthly movements and figureheads.

Believers, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus and labor for what won’t perish. In 1 Samuel 12, the Israelites asked for a king so they could be like the other nations. But, God gave them a kingship that answered to Him. If you walk in Christ, then you’re called to be different from the world.

Today’s episode is a session from Snowbird’s summer staff training. Brody encouraged our summer staff to remain faithful to the Lord in the middle of our current culture. The Israelites wanted to trust in a new form of government, rather than trusting in the promises of Yahweh.

Christian, you are under the covenant care and love of God. He is unchanging in His faithfulness to you, so walk with Jesus.

Don’t be afraid of doubt. Doubt is evidence of faith in the heart of a Christian.
Brody sat down with Brittany Staples, a former Snowbird staff member, who shares her testimony of walking away from the faith and how the Lord brings her back to Him. Brittany wrestled with distrust in the Lord which led to a season of doubt.

During this season, Christian friends continued to speak Scripture into her life. Believers, let’s love people enough to speak the Truth and be consistent in others’ lives. Listen to the beauty of the Lord’s faithfulness throughout her story.

Abigail is an example of Christ.

In 1 Samuel 25, she confronted David and 400 of his men to spare the lives of the men in her town. In this episode, Brody walks through what we can learn from her act of bravery and how she points us to the Lord. Abigail approaches David in humility and boldness as she asks to let all the guilt of her husband fall onto her.

She displays deep faith that mirrors Christ to us.

What can we learn from her boldness? We need to be a people of faith and action. Abigail’s faith was not passive. Everything she did was aggressive but driven by humility. She was faithful right where she was serving. She shows us what humility looks like.

Let’s learn from her example. Let’s be people of action, bravery, and humility.

We are always giving our attention to something.

But, what if the Lord is speaking to us and we’re not paying attention? We need to be disciplined about taking time in our lives to pause. The culture around us presses us toward non-stop busyness, so Brody and Jon discussed the importance of solitude and boredom in the life of a believer.

It takes discipline to walk close to the Lord. Let’s be more diligent to just sit with Jesus.

A Conversation on How the Gospel Transcends Culture pt. 3 Apr 11, 2022

Send us a text

Culture today wants to control what you believe.

There is continual pressure to stop walking with Jesus and to start following the world. We’re asked to believe the narrative society is writing, or be labeled as hateful. But the Word of God is sufficient and authoritative. Scripture gives a clear definition of sexuality and marriage. We’re to love people well by speaking the Truth unapologetically.

Brody and Jon Rouleau wrapped up their conversation on progressive Christianity by discussing the current narrative of culture—and how the Gospel transcends it. We cannot ignore the reality that culture is trying to shape what we believe.

So, how are we to live as Christians?

Just walk with Christ. The message is about Him. Turn to Christ, and walk with Him. When you follow Jesus, you are loving humanity.

A Conversation on Faith & Deconstruction pt. 2 Apr 04, 2022

Send us a text

What is driving Christians to fall away from the faith? Today we’re seeing believers either abandoning the Christian faith or redefining the parameters of it. Something is always driving this. The problem is idolatry. We’re either exalting ourselves or items to a position that only God can hold. There is always an action or change of lifestyle that comes with deconstruction.

Continuing the conversation with Jon Rouleau, a friend of Snowbird’s, Brody and Jon discuss what deconstruction is, why people walk away from the faith, and how we’re to remain faithful in this culture.

Some people who have walked away were already looking for an excuse to deny the faith. We can be faithful witnesses, not just in preaching Scripture, but in living for Jesus. Hold fast to what you believe and stay faithful in this fallen world.

Send us a text

What runs people down the path of progressive Christianity?

We’re seeing believers today wanting to decide the parameters of their faith with what they hold firm to in the Bible and what they won’t. This type of faith allows people to live the way they want to. But this is not real faith.
In this episode, Brody sat down with Jon Rouleau, a friend who was born and raised in California, to discuss progressive Christianity and deconstruction of Christian faith. Brody and Jon explore why people are walking away from the faith and accepting an easier version of Christianity that allows people to do what they want.

For believers, there is so much cultural pressure to walk away from the faith. We need to stand firm in what we believe—and pursue Jesus and holiness.

Send us a text

Ask yourself, “How do I become an asset in advancing the kingdom, guarding my holiness, and pursuing the Lord?”

We can look at David’s life and learn principles that push us towards repentance and dependency on the Lord. There were patterns in David’s life that didn't get dealt with and ultimately led him to turn away from the Lord. He needed to address those patterns that lead to sinful and destructive behavior.

The problem is, we get too comfortable. We need to surround ourselves with men and women who love us enough to hold us accountable and speak truth in our lives. Let’s be good friends, faithful followers to the Lord, and make much of Jesus with our lives.

Jesus is never random. He is always on mission. When Jesus goes to Jericho, it’s to meet and save Zacchaeus. Zaccheaus was hated by the people around him because of his job. He lived a comfortable life—but he didn’t have joy. He was seeking Jesus but he couldn’t get to Him because of his own limitations. Zacchaeus couldn’t save himself because of his own sin.

We cannot save ourselves. We aren’t saved by good works, but by faith in Christ and His work on the Cross. Faith is always followed by obedience.

The Foundation For Counseling is Christ Feb 07, 2022

Send us a text

Pastoral and counseling roles are ordained by God, but can be destructive if not approached correctly. True BIblical counseling is patient and steadfast. It is the fruit of the Spirit being walked out. Counter-biblical counseling can produce good feelings in the moment, but the Gospel is our only hope for the human heart. We need to invite others into our struggles while maintaining complete dependence on the Lord.

Thanksgiving Edition Nov 22, 2021

In this episode, Brody talks about family traditions and what we can be thankful for this holiday season. Traditions can be good but sometimes we tend to make them more important than the main thing—the Gospel. Let’s hold traditions in the right perspective.

Your salvation doesn’t rest in religious tradition. We have much to be thankful for because of what Christ has done for us. God extended mercy on us and lavishes us with His grace. Let’s reflect on his glorious mercy this season.

Beyond the Flannelgraph | Daniel & the Lion's Den Nov 08, 2021

Send us a text

In this episode, Brody looks at Daniel’s resolve when he was commanded to worship another god. God gave Daniel powerful influence and the Spirit of the Lord dwelled richly in him. Daniel didn’t compromise when it came to his relationship with God. The king had no greater ally or asset than Daniel, but he would never worship the king. His walk with the Lord is a picture of consistency.

If you walk in the will of the Lord, you’re going to face conflict and adversity. Don’t put your hope in this world. Daniel didn’t compromise. He lived out his faith in a way that others would see the power of God.

Jesus is the greater Daniel. Jesus saves, stops the mouths of lions, and is bigger than this world.

God the Father Disciplines His Children Oct 18, 2021

Send us a text

Believers, how can we lovingly discipline our kids in a way that mirrors how God disciplines us? Hebrews 12 reminds us that God’s discipline legitimizes our sonship to Him. It’s for the purpose of bringing honor to God and making us more like Him. In this episode, Brody walks through the Fatherheart of God and why He disciplines us.

We are no longer slaves to our sin, but now sons and daughters of God. Discipline is meant to bring us into a deeper fellowship with Him.

Beyond the Flannelgraph | A Character Sketch of Peter Oct 11, 2021

Send us a text

At the end of your life, will you be able to say that you kept the faith?

The Lord still uses Peter to boldly proclaim Christ—in spite of his failures. Peter wasn’t always the bold preacher who had so much confidence in Jesus. Peter was impulsive and emotional, just as imperfect as any of us.

His boldness was contrasted with fear and cowardice, but yet he became one of the greatest preachers in history. The Lord still used him.

In this episode, Brody sits down with Matt Milligan, a pastor who serves at New Harmony Church in Missouri. Matt shares about how the Lord saved him from a life of addiction. Now, Matt can identify with people he’s ministering to every day.

We are all hard-wired for idolatry. For someone who is truly a child of God, there is conviction in the midst of idolatry. God will bring disruption to your soul and won’t leave you alone in it. There is no hope without Christ.

Listen to Matt’s story of redemption and grace and see the power of the Gospel over addiction.

Are you trying to find peace and joy through what the world offers? Jesus is the only true source of joy and peace. He gives exceedingly more than we could ever ask for. In this episode, Brody walks through John 2, where Jesus performed the first miracle.

Jesus always acts according to the will of the Father. When Jesus turned water into wine, he gave the guests a bigger picture of who he was. Jesus is the true source of joy. This isn’t about the wine.

We serve a glorious and generous Savior. Life is always going to be hard, but life with Jesus always grows sweeter and better.

SWO22 Preview | The Gospel in The Life of David Sep 20, 2021

Send us a text

The life of David teaches us what it looks like to walk humbly before the Lord. He failed miserably before God responded in repentance, submission, and worship. Brody walks through some key moments in David’s life and shares what we can learn from him. During SWO22 summer camp, we will focus on savage moments throughout David’s life.

During most of his life, we see the intensity of obedience and fidelity to God. David reflects the kindness and mercy of the Lord. This should motivate us to live as a person of passion for the glory of God.

Send us a text

This episode is the second part of “A Warning To Those Who Profess Christ | Don’t Drift.” Both parts come from an exhortation that Brody issued to our summer staff.

We cannot face our enemies on our own. We are given the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. You will not walk away from a faith that you are not the Author of. The same love of Christ that saved you, will sustain you to the very end. The Christian walk is an ever-increasing climb. You are saved to be conformed from one degree of glory to another.

Brody wraps up season 2 with a sermon he preached to our summer staff where he encouraged them to remain in the faith. Don’t stop pursuing Christ. Be a man or woman of honor and integrity. Pursue the Lord.

A Warning To Those Who Profess Christ | Don’t Drift Jun 28, 2021

Send us a text

There is a constant pressure from society and your flesh to conform to the world. In today’s podcast, Brody looks at the Lord’s warning against drifting away (in Hebrews 2). No one will ever drift toward holiness, so we need to take this warning from Scripture seriously. Let’s tether ourselves to something eternal.

Brody walks through how to fight the tendency to drift away from the Lord. You’ve got to look to the Cross—daily. The Cross will constantly show us our need for the Savior. Fight your way towards holiness, towards Jesus. Maintain an intentional and aggressive submission to the Scripture. Tune into this episode to be warned and challenged by Scripture to remain in the fight towards Christ.

Is it profitable or useful? Are you being dependent on it? We can not justify drunkenness because we need our minds to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Let’s make sure that we’re not using our freedom in Christ in a way that would cause someone else to stumble. Tune into this episode to learn principles that Scripture gives that helps guide us on these issues.

Beyond the Flannelgraph | David's Mighty Men Jun 14, 2021

Send us a text

In today’s episode, Brody walks through 2 Samuel 23 and shows what we can learn from the action of David’s mighty men. These men show loyalty, unselfish bravery, and the ability to discern the needs of others. They took action and embraced responsibility.

The water that these men got for David represents something a whole lot bigger. God has made it clear to David that He has bigger plans for them. The water is about God’s promises and David’s longing to see those fulfilled. These men are so attuned to the needs of others they acted in a way that drove David to worship God.

David’s life and kinship foreshadows Jesus' own ministry and work. Jesus poured out His own life to give us salvation and freedom to live in victory over sin. In the end your faithfulness to God will be worth whatever it costs you.

Let’s learn from the actions of David and his men and worship God by serving those around us well.

The Attributes of God | Immutability May 17, 2021

Send us a text

This summer, at SWO21, our pastors are teaching through the attributes of God. Every week we will walk through the characteristics of God to better understand His nature.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God is unchanging. He is immutable. He can’t change in His nature. If He could change then that means He could improve.
In contrast, people change all the time in their emotions, decisions, and characteristics. If you’ve been redeemed by Him, God is changing you more into His image every day. His love for you is attached to His character—not yours. You are not consistent. But the Lord is. Let’s pursue the Lord daily and rest in His unchanging nature.

No Sanity Stories | From a S.W.A.T. Cop to a Boys Home Founder May 10, 2021

Send us a text

Today, Brody sat down with Steve Finn, a long-time friend of Brody and Snowbird. Steve shared his life story and testimony of how the Lord saved him and pushed him to start Chestnut Mountain Ranch. The Lord gave him a Gospel-driven vision for law enforcement and his career as a police officer. There, he experienced the darkness of humanity, yet a person who is rooted in the Gospel will be stable even when dealing with evil.

God will equip you for the work He’s calling you to. Steve later started a boys’ home program called Chestnut Mountain Ranch, where boys learn life skills and Gospel truths. CMR has been life-changing for many boys. Listen to be challenged and encouraged.

What Fear in the Life of a Believer Should Look Like May 03, 2021

Send us a text

Fear is all around us. The world is fallen and broken; and we need to combat our fears with prayer and Scripture. Prayer must be a consistent part of our lives. Today Brody discusses how believers can use prayer to combat fear. Unhealthy fears attack us when we’re not seeking the Lord through prayer. The Lord uses prayer to stabilize us with confidence in tough circumstances.
Good fear should motivate you to the right kind of action. Prayer lessens our fear in the things of this world and grows our trust in God. Are you feeding yourself with things that grow your faith? Christian, don’t live in fear.

What Prayer in the Life of a Believer Should Look Like Apr 26, 2021

Send us a text

Most Christians would admit that their prayer life isn’t what they want it to be. Prayer is a great gift that allows us to communicate with the Almighty God. As a result we should hold a high view of prayer in our lives and communicate with God daily. In this episode, Brody walks through Daniel’s prayer of confession for himself and his people.

Daniel shows us a picture of what Biblical confession looks like. He interceded for the sins of his nation, but we have a better intercessor than Daniel. We have Christ. Let’s be people of prayer, confessing who we are, who He is, and petitioning to His sovereign mercy.

Proclaim the Gospel Knowing That Only God can Save Apr 12, 2021

Send us a text

Sharing the Gospel can be scary and tough to do. But it’s our responsibility and joy to be faithful to share the hope we have. If we don’t actually trust that it’s able to save souls, then we won’t share. We share the Gospel as both an act of obedience and to make much of Jesus. We need to look for opportunities to share but we can rest in knowing that it’s the Lord who is going to save. We are just the messengers.

Live a life that faithfully and consistently brings attention to the Lord. God will use your faithfulness—but not in the timing you think He will. The message that we have is the greatest that's been given. Share out of a love for those around you and be confident that the Lord is working through your obedience.

The Unlawful Trial of Jesus Apr 04, 2021

Send us a text

Happy Resurrection Sunday! The grave is empty. Hell and sin are defeated. Our worldly flesh has been defeated by Jesus’ work at the Cross and power over the grave! Christian, we have so much to be thankful for. The Resurrection of Jesus is what makes the Gospel central to how we work, parent, and combat a secular worldview.

From the beginning, in the Garden of Eden, Satan has been offering counterfeit options to the truth. The world system is coming after Christians, but we should not be surprised by this. Just like Jesus promised, the world hates him and they will hate you. We should expect it and trust our Lord in the middle of it.

Did Jesus really deserve to die?

Luke 22-23 covers the unlawful accusation and trial of Jesus in detail. Read Pilate’s words:

“Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, ‘I find no guilt in this man.’” (Luke 23:4)

Pilate

Jesus was unjustly punished in the name of justice—for the sake of pleasing crowds and unifying politicians. In reality, the Resurrection proved that Jesus is who He says He is.

Innocent God died in the place of wicked man. Christ Jesus became the substitution and atonement for our sin. This is the Gospel! Jesus stood in our place—the sinless and spotless Lamb of God.

The world gradually inches towards alliance and compliance with the work of Satan in every generation. The world will constantly push back against what Jesus is doing in one way or another. The Jews wanted Jesus silenced, they wanted Him dead and Pilate inched towards compliance. Ultimately, they won Pilate over.

Caiaphas was on trial.

The crowd was on trial.

Our sin was on trial.

Jesus is in command.

Jesus paid the price and conquered sin by the power of his holiness.

So, today we celebrate. He conquered sin so that we won’t have to face the same punishment. He died in our place so that we are able to stand righteous before a holy God—made righteous based on the work and merit of Jesus. Romans 10 promises that we have freedom because of Him.

Bask in the glory of what Jesus has done. Look forward to an eternity where justice rules and reigns.

Peace, mercy, hope, and grace will prevail.

No Sanity Stories | A Faithful Church in the Wake of Trauma Mar 29, 2021

Send us a text

In today’s episode, Brody sits down with Courtney Seifert, a current Snowbird staff member. Courtney shares her story of how the Lord preserved her in the midst of her family collapsing. She shares the collateral damage and consequences that resulted from her Dad’s past sins. The Lord graciously placed a local church body in her life to lean on and encourage her throughout the hardships. The church was there to remind her that she was not alone.

As Christians, we can look at all the suffering in our lives and know that the Lord is working all those things for our good and His glory. Listen to hear about the Lord’s constant presence throughout Courtney’s life and how we can learn to love those around us who are also experiencing trauma or lingering effects of someone’s sin.

Living Lives of Balance Mar 23, 2021

It’s important to recognize and have conversations about our nation's dark past. Instead of erasing history we need to remember it and learn from it. In this episode Brody discusses the balance of remembering the sins of our nation while recognizing God’s sovereignty in it. As a nation, we’ve got a long way to go, but we’ve also come a long way. This world needs Jesus. Let’s remember the milestones in our history while having a Gospel perspective towards our future. The Gospel is the only hope for all people.

A Parent's Role in Their Child's Faith (Ft. Moses's Salvation Story) Mar 15, 2021

Send us a text

In this episode, Brody celebrates the recent salvation of his youngest son, Moses! Their family has been praying for years that Mo would come to understand His need for the Gospel. Parents, don’t think your kids are too young to understand the Gospel. However, we also need to be careful not to nudge our children to make a decision they don’t understand yet. In light of all this Brody discusses a parents role in their child’s faith.

Samuel is an example of a young believer who increased in wisdom and knowledge despite his youth. Shepherd your children into a knowledge of God by teaching them the commandments of Scripture. Jesus also calls children to follow Him. Let’s raise our sons and daughters in a manner that is Gospel saturated and points them to Jesus.

Submitting to the Authority of Scripture Mar 08, 2021

Send us a text

When culture changes, do we change with it? Do we adapt the Bible to fit the fleeting trends of society? No, as believers, we conform only to the image of Jesus and we hold to the consistency of Scripture. We hold to principles and values that the world doesn’t. In this episode, Brody looks at the authority of Scripture and how it pertains to our lives.
God is not capable of lying, so He’s not capable of error. We know that the Word of God is true because God is true. Scripture reflects and reveals the attributes of God as we know them and gives definition to them. It is full of stories and commands that show us how to live our lives.
We need the Word of God everyday. We need to approach it with a heart of humility and submission, not one of argument or rebellion. It deals with the eternal condition of our souls, and we are to be mastered by it.

The History of the World Through the Lens of Redemption Feb 15, 2021

Send us a text

In this episode, Brody walks through the ways God has moved from the beginning of time to bring about His plan of salvation for all people. Despite their near constant rebellion, God chose to do this through the nation of Israel. Through this people group, He would bless all of the Earth. God was moving through their suffering, through their peace, all for the purpose of bringing salvation to the brokenness of the world.
God isn’t just God to the Israelites. We have a new covenant through which Jesus provides salvation for all nations. The early disciples did their part in this by working to fulfill the Great Commission. No matter what is going on in the world, the Gospel will never be quenched. It will endure no matter what.

In this episode, Brody talks with Jonathan Ballou, a missionary who serves in Thailand with his family. They discuss church planting, the importance of language learning, and following the leadership of the Holy Spirit in ministry.

Why We Can Trust the Bible Feb 01, 2021

Send us a text

What we do with the Word of God determines how we view Christ. In this episode, Brody discusses the reliability and authenticity of the Bible by walking through questions like how we got the Bible, why are there different translations, and what are the manuscripts of Scripture? In today’s world, there are constant attacks on Scripture, so we need to be confident in the authority of Scripture and know that it can be trusted.

God’s word is pivotal to how we approach both Christianity and life. It is sufficient to guide us through every circumstance. Take time to read the Bible and keep a high view of God’s Word. Let it shape your worldview and become the lens through which you view culture, sexuality, marriage, and every aspect of your life.

When Heroes of the Faith Fall Jan 25, 2021

Send us a text

It is discouraging to see people we hold in high regard fall away from the faith. How do we recover when giants of the faith fall?

In this episode, Brody shares a time when someone he held highly fell away from the Lord, and he walks through how the believer should respond when this happens. There are faithful men and women who finish strong. When someone falls away, let’s allow it to refocus our mission.

You will not look back on your life and think you pursued the Lord perfectly. Hebrews 11 talks about men and women who weren’t close to perfect yet they were still found faithful. They had major failures in their lives, but God used them anyway.

When someone falls, intensify the fight. Refocus the mission. Pursue the Lord and proclaim the Gospel. We are called to persevere until the end. We will do it because He that is in us is greater. Let’s pick each other up and encourage one another. As we kick off a year that’s already been crazy, let’s continue in faithfulness to the Gospel.

Progressive Christianity, Nationalism, & the Hope that Outlasts them Both Jan 18, 2021

Send us a text

Christians are falling into the trap of finding their identity in politics. Our hope should not be in the government or society but in Christ alone. Our role of being a citizen in the United States should never feel bigger or more pressing than our role of being a follower of Christ. To start off season two of NSR, Brody discusses the culture today by looking at the life of Daniel who shows us how to live in a world that is so divided.
Daniel is captured by the Babylonian Empire who hope to try to change his allegiance and teach him their ways. But Daniel resolved that he would not be reeducated or defiled but would remain faithful to Yahweh.

Though we live in this world, we cannot embrace its ways. The world will try to redefine what is just, right, and good. There is no way for believers to live at peace with the world. Jesus brought division and came to preach repentance, not a gospel that leaves us comfortable.

When we look at the craziness and instability of this world right now, we can know that Jesus is still on His throne. He is still in control and He will bring about justice for all people. God preserved Daniel and He will preserve us to advance the true cause of Christ to the very end. This world and all that it has to offer us is temporal. Don’t get caught up in the fray of it. The kings of this earth will rise and fall but only Jesus will last.

Paul's Last Words Dec 14, 2020

Send us a text

Scripture is breathed out by God. God’s Word is alive and active. Some of Paul’s last words in the Bible point to this truth and emphasize it’s sufficiency. In today’s podcast, Brody looks at 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and points out 6 characteristics of Scripture from this text.

Listen in to learn why the Bible is such a critical part of our lives. The Word of God is always accurate and authoritative, and powerful to conquer strongholds in our lives. The Scripture teaches us how we’re to live our lives.

As Christians, we have the Spirit of God living within us. When we go to His Word, He will help us to understand it. God’s Word is meant to shape our lives and make us look more like Christ. His Word reproves and convicts us. We need the Word of God—our spiritual lives depend on it! Fight to spend time in the Word and pursue Christ daily.

"Let Them Have Dominion" Dec 10, 2020

Send us a text

Looking back at the creation of man, we see God’s purposes and plan for each gender. These purposes help us function as image-bearers of God. In this episode, Brody specifically spoke to men about what the Lord has created them for. In the Garden of Eden, God blessed man by giving him responsibility. Then, man rejected that responsibility. God created us to work, lead well, and to have dominion. Brody walks through three areas of responsibility and his thoughts on dominion.

Back in the Garden, the serpent tempted the desires of man's heart to establish his own authority. Now, men struggle to lead their families well and submit themselves to the Lord.

Men—we need to humble ourselves before the Lord and allow Him to lead us. Let’s look to Jesus because he is the ultimate example of humility for us. Even Jesus didn’t count equality with God something to hold onto.

The dominion we’re striving for is spiritual dominion. We’re no longer enslaved to sin but at war with it. Man could not maintain dominion, so God sent us a Savior who can. Jesus conquered through death what we couldn’t conquer through life. Fight sin today and do not lose heart. Be the men, husbands, dads, brothers, and friends God has called you to be.

Expositional Preaching in the Local Church Dec 07, 2020

Send us a text

Expositional preaching is one of the pillars we stand on at Snowbird. There are many different styles of preaching, and everyone has their preference. No matter what style people use, there is a right and a wrong way to preach. In this episode, Brody discusses what expository preaching is and why it’s so important to the local church. We need to look at what Scripture says about preaching and be faithful to preach the Word rightly. God gave His Word to man as a revelation of Himself and His plans.

The number one priority of the pastor is to be preaching the Word of God to the church. This is the most valuable way to grow and strengthen the church. Let the main point of the text be the main point of the sermon and keep the gospel at the center. Having faithful expository preaching creates expository listeners. Let’s be faithful listeners and teachers and handle His Word well.

10 Distinctives of a Healthy Church Dec 03, 2020

Send us a text

A question we get asked a lot is at what point should you leave your church. No church is perfect and we need to be believers who show grace towards that.

But there is a point when major issues in leadership or doctrine should cause you to leave a church. If something in the body of Christ needs to be addressed, then we have a responsibility to address it. It’s vital to belong to a church that rightly handles the Word of God with fear and trembling. In this episode, Brody walks through 10 distinctives of a healthy church. He highlights standards that church members should hold when evaluating their church or looking for a church.

No church will get all these distinctives perfect. We need to ask ourselves how we can be a positive voice in the church and not be focused on what we can complain about. Love the church and do your part to make it better. We hope you can use this as a helpful guideline to consider the health of your church.

Beyond the Flannelgraph | The Life of Daniel Nov 30, 2020

Send us a text

Today Brody jumped back into our Beyond the Flannelgraph series and walked through the life of Daniel. We’re called to be a light in the darkness of this world, and Daniel is someone we can look to as an example. When you face trials in your life, remember that the Lord will use those trials to bring you closer to Him. Every generation of believers has gone through difficulties. Long before the time of Jesus, people joyfully endured persecution based on the fact that Jesus was coming.
We have been given a better hope. We have an empty tomb and a better salvation. Have confidence that God will give us the faith to stand firm just as He did for those before us. Hold fast to the promises of God and endure the hard times.

Happy Thanksgiving! 2020 has been a little crazy. So, Brody used this episode to outline things that he is personally thankful for right now. We can be thankful that God is not only the author of this life but the next.

So let’s give thanks. There’s a lot we can be thankful for right now even in this crazy time.
Many of us have so much to worry about, but let’s set this aside today and enjoy the goodness of the Lord. Taste and see that the Lord is good!
“The worst day in this life will give way to a perfect and perpetual, eternal kingdom with God in heaven with Jesus forever.”

Wrapping up CRT with the Holloway Adoption Story Nov 23, 2020

Send us a text

These past few episodes have been a little heavy, so we wanted to wrap things up a little with some personal stories. We want to be a church, a people, a ministry, that encourages and loves people well. Our hope that people understand that at the end of the day we just want people to understand the love of God and be changed by the power of the Gospel.

When God rescues us, He lifts us out of the darkness and brings us into the Kingdom with His Son. He gives us a new name and a new heart. We are made sons and daughters in the Kingdom.

So now, let’s get busy loving our community with the same eternal hope. The opportunities are there you just have to look. Get involved as a church. Countless needs surround us concerning fostering and adoption. Invest in young teens.

Be the hands and feet of Jesus right now, in your community.

If you missed any of the previous three episodes on Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Intersectionality, you can find them here:

A Biblical Understanding of Woke Culture, White Privilege, & BLM Nov 19, 2020

Send us a text

This episode wraps up our 3-part series on critical race theory (CRT) and intersectionality. Brody, Zach Carter, and Zach Mabry sat down and took time to discuss and define the topics of “woke” and “white privilege”. What is happening in the culture today is wrong.

Believers, we need to remind ourselves that the Lord will bring justice to every wrong that has been done. God is the one who vindicates wrong and we can trust that. Our job is to tell people the Truth and work to ensure just laws come into place. Christians should be alleviating the material sufferings of those around us. Let’s weep with them, mourn with them, acknowledge that this is sin, and tell the truth about it.

It is dangerous for the Christian to be pressing into this ideology of CRT and intersectionality. We already have a mission and a command to take part in the work of building the Kingdom. The things of this world are vapor. The world doesn’t need more people setting low bars. We need something that transcends this world. One day God will make everything right again. The culture is asking the questions, so we need to answer them. The world doesn't know why these things are happening but they can acknowledge that the current order is not right. The Gospel is the answer.

If you believe in Heaven then you can wait for God’s good justice to come. It is not our job to pick up the sword and think that we can make it right on this earth. While you wait, meet the material needs that you can and be faithful to proclaim the hope that you have.

Is Intersectionality a Useful Tool for Christians? Nov 18, 2020

Send us a text

In this second episode on CRT and intersectionality, Brody, Zach Carter, and Zach Mabry walk through the dangers of using intersectionality as an analytical tool. This theory allows for the most oppressed voice to be heard as a standard for everyone. This puts people playing the role of God and calling the shots. Believers, the Bible is sufficient. We don’t have to go outside of Scripture to find answers to the most important questions. The Word of God gives us what we need.

We are called to live in submission to the authority of Scripture and listen to and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The problem we face is spiritual, and the Gospel of Jesus is our answer. God has created a standard for our source of knowledge and right understanding in the world. We know what we know based on God who revealed Himself to us through: (1) the incarnation of Christ and (2) the Bible, His written Word.

We need to remember that the Gospel is the hope and the answer for our world. We need to better understand these issues so we can articulate them with believers and nonbelievers. Christians are called to inform and shed the light on sin. We can’t be afraid to do this. It’s our job to proclaim true redemption.

What is Critical Race Theory & How Christians Should View It Nov 16, 2020

Send us a text

Critical race theory (CRT) and intersectionality are complicated and can be intimidating to understand. More clarity is needed to understand the danger of CRT and the whole-scale acceptance of it, not just in the secular world but also in the church.

For this episode, Brody sat down with Zach Carter and Zach Mabry to discuss these topics and bring awareness to the core issues. Christians must always evaluate these conversations through the lens of Scripture.

Scripture has given us everything we need to interpret the world around us. We live in a world that is sinful and has been damaged by the fall. Because of our sinful nature, the world doesn’t view human beings the way the Bible views them.
Believers, we can’t surrender the values of the Church and then pick up the world’s tools to do our work. This episode will be the first of a 3-part series to educate ourselves and other believers on the dangers of CRT and how we should confront it.

The Role of The Holy Spirit in Our Lives Nov 12, 2020

Send us a text

When we see a fellow believer fall into sin and shame, the body of Christ feels that too. We feel the gravity of their guilt, brokenness, and self-condemnation. We should long to see other believers have victory in their sin and come along-side them to push them back toward Christ. This is what the Holy Spirit does for us. He is able to identify and sympathize with our weaknesses. Jesus gave us His Spirit so that He’s always with us, ready to help us at any time.

During this episode, Brody discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. In Christ, we have an advocate who feels for us, hurts for us, and sympathizes with us. This is a powerful picture that shows us how we’re linked to God and have His dwelling in us, feeling the weight of our sin. His Spirit comes alongside us by picking us up to carry the weight of our sin. Believers, we should be encouraged and comforted by this truth. Remember that you have the Helper living inside of you, advocating for you as a comforter and a companion.

Get Up and Live Out Your Pro-Life Stance Nov 09, 2020

Send us a text

All throughout Scripture, we see that the Lord loves the poor and destitute. We need to follow Jesus’ example and care for those around us. We need to do this not only with our words but also with our actions. People tend to voice their opinions about an issue like abortion but then they sit back and don’t do anything to help. In this podcast, Brody shares why he’s so passionate about fostering, adopting, and getting involved with those in your community. This isn’t easy work, but it’s worth it for what the Lord will do in your heart and mind as you serve those in need.

Let’s be believers of action. Help a single mom or donate to a family who is trying to adopt. Do something other than rant on social media!

While words can hold weight, they are still a vapor. They hold no gravity if they’re not followed by action. Start investing in those in your community who are hurting. Commit to being on a Gospel mission for the least of these in our society.

Send us a text

In today’s podcast, Brody shares two stories from the birth of Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters that involve the help and investment from his father-in-law, Steve Coleman. He walks through how the Lord used Kahuna’s background in inner-city ministry and land development to prepare him for what the Lord had in store for him. The Lord combined Kahuna’s skills and Brody’s experience in student ministry to form the vision for Snowbird.

You never know what God is preparing you for. His plans are higher than our imagination and Snowbird is a testament to that. Both Brody and Kahuna were faithful and obedient to the Lord and His plans for them. He carried them through different events during their lives that prepared them to build this ministry as a team. God is preparing you for something and He has a purpose for everything. Remind yourself of this truth, even when everything around you seems uncertain.

Greg shared about his partnership with the organization, Reaching Africans Unreached, who seek to do the Lord’s work in difficult areas of the world. They’re raising $200,000 to distribute Bibles to those who don’t have access to Scripture in Africa.

Listen in to learn how Greg built this connection and the goal of this ministry. The aim is to get 20,000 Bibles onto their property and then distribute them to the unreached.

We encourage you to prayerfully consider participating with us as we partner in this ministry.

The Profound Effects of Simple Obedience Oct 29, 2020

Send us a text

This episode gives more background on the story of our brother in Africa. Brody sat down with Greg Helms to learn how teaching English to Muslim men in South Sudan led to Amir’s salvation. Simple obedience to share the Gospel can radically change the lives of those around us. Gospel leaders look for opportunities to boldly share the Good News. Be challenged and encouraged as you listen to how the Lord uses simple obedience to save the lost.

Of Masks & Men Oct 27, 2020

Is it unloving to not wear a mask? Brody addresses a question he got from a church member on why we don’t wear masks at Red Oak Church. He reads from The Barrington Declaration and explains how it gives us a guideline when it comes to this issue. While we want to protect the elderly and the high risk, we also need to get back to work.

Power Couples in the Bible | Priscilla & Aquila Oct 22, 2020

Send us a text

How can our marriages and homes serve as a base of operations for advancing the gospel? Believers, we should be striving to do ministry by engaging people in our homes and ministering to them. Today Brody looks at a power couple in the Bible who was willing to do whatever it took to advance the Gospel. Priscilla and Aquila played a key role in the early church and we can look to them as examples. Let’s be locally and globally-minded, and take action in the communities that we’re placed in.

Two Missionary Stories | One of Faithfulness, One of Selfishness Oct 19, 2020

Brody tells a crazy story of two missionary couples in this episode. There is a contrast between those who go and stay faithful and those who go and forget their calling. When it comes to ministry we cannot lose focus. We all have platforms in our communities where we have the opportunity to impact those around us with the Gospel. Let's stay focused and live lives that ignite Gospel work.

9 Observations on Jealousy Oct 15, 2020

Send us a text

Here are 9 observations about jealousy. Brody points out ways to combat it and acknowledges when jealousy can actually be healthy. Don’t compare yourselves to others—that’s a sure way to weaken your daily faithfulness. Comparison reveals a dissatisfaction in where the Lord has you and what He’s done for you. Instead, we must learn how to be satisfied in Christ alone. Fight this by pressing into Christ and abiding in His Word daily.

There is a type of jealousy that is good. One that calls for an exclusive relationship with the Lord. The Lord is a jealous God. He seeks our whole heart and calls us to put no idols before Him. He demands worship that brings us into His presence and makes us more like Him. This gives us purpose and value, and drive.

Nobody Likes Hypocrisy Oct 12, 2020

Send us a text

In the Christian walk, it is easy to fall into hypocrisy and live an inauthentic life. Jesus even addresses hypocrisy by warning His disciples to guard against it. If they could become hypocrites then so can we. As believers, we need to fight this mindset. We’re not going to be perfect but we must strive to mimic the example Jesus set for us in how to live genuinely. Be real, love others well, and focus on pleasing the Lord through your obedience.

Thoughts on Government | Who I'm Voting for & Why Oct 08, 2020

Send us a text

In this episode, Brody addresses issues that Christians can’t ignore when choosing a candidate to vote for. He explains who he’s voting for, and why, by walking through core values that Christians stand by. With everything that’s going on in our country, it’s easy to get caught up in the drama of 2020 and shift our eyes off of Christ. Regardless of who gets voted into office, remember that Christ is still on His throne. He is still in control and holds the ultimate authority in our lives.

How to Remain Faithful Sep 28, 2020

Send us a text

There are many things battling for our attention in today’s world. It’s easy to get derailed by cultural influences and lose sight of Jesus. We all know people who used to follow passionately after Christ but are now caught up following the world. So, practically, how do we remain faithful to Jesus?
We must be Gospel-driven from start to finish. If we’re not being driven by the Gospel, then we’re being driven by the world’s definition of Christianity. Fix your eyes on Jesus, stay on mission, and rest in God’s promises. We need to do this every day, not just for a season. Don’t become weak-minded Christians. Stay faithful.

What Happens to Babies When They Die? Sep 24, 2020

Send us a text

This is such a difficult question emotionally and theologically, so it’s important for believers to look to Scripture for our understanding on this topic. Will babies go to hell if they don’t have the ability to understand the gospel yet? Do only the children of believers go to Heaven? This is wrong theology because it doesn’t line up with the character and grace of God.

So what can we say to the mother who is grieving the loss of her child? There is hope even in that overwhelming grief. This hope is rooted in Scripture; it isn’t authored by our emotions to make us feel better. We can have hope even in loss because God is a God of grace.

Suffering, Suicide, & Eternal Hope Sep 21, 2020

Send us a text

In this episode, Brody walks through how believers should view suffering and suicide from a Biblical perspective. He shares two different stories of people he knew who committed suicide. This is a difficult conversation to have, but we cannot avoid the topic. People assume that because someone takes their life, it automatically condemns them to hell. This is wrong teaching. No one is in heaven because of anything they’ve done. It is only by the Lord’s grace and Jesus’ work on the cross that we receive His righteousness.

While the penalty of sin is paid for and the power of sin is no longer something that we’re under as believers, the presence of sin will always be real. In this life, we are still contending and we can still have hope even on our darkest day because of Christ.

Proofs of the Resurrection | Defending Common Arguments Sep 17, 2020

Send us a text

It is important that Christians know how to defend the faith, but defending the faith doesn’t need to be complicated. Scripture gives us an overwhelming amount of evidence that Jesus did in fact raise from the dead, and this is where we should place our confidence. In this episode, Brody walks through common arguments from unbelievers. We must know how to gently but boldly respond to these false claims about the resurrection.

Proofs of the Resurrection | From Doubting Brothers to Faithful Martyrs Sep 14, 2020

Send us a text

Christians must be able to give a defense for their faith. The testimonies of His half-brothers, Jude and James, provide strong evidence to support the resurrection of Jesus. Brody walks through the eyewitness accounts from those who had front row seats to His life, death, resurrection, and ascension to the throne.

The only appropriate relationship with Jesus is to worship Him as Lord and Savior. Jude humbly identified himself as a slave to Jesus (his own brother).

Our natural tendency is to rebel against authority. Believers need to constantly be reminded that we are not in charge. Our submission to Christ should look a lot like Jude and James.

These brothers were later martyred for the faith they boldly proclaimed. They abandoned their lives, left what they knew behind, and pursued Jesus in obedience to advance the Gospel. Keep your eyes on the resurrected Lord and submit to Christ daily.

Proofs of the Resurrection | Simple Apologetics & Personal Holiness Sep 10, 2020

Send us a text

Everyone has an opinion on the supernatural. It’s curious why people push hard against the Resurrection.
It’s important for us to be able to “give a defense” for the faith you have. This is critical in order to strengthen our faith and stand firm in the face of doubt! Being able to give this defense is also extremely helpful when you come into contact with a true seeker of truth.
Remember when Jesus’ brothers and family were angry at Jesus for the messianic claims He was making? After the Resurrection, His family was huddled in the upper room praying to Him!
Peter denied Christ three times on the night of the Crucifixion and was later martyred for proclaiming the Gospel message.

Roman crucifixion was a cruel death.
Buried behind a stone.
They saw Him in the resurrected body.

The Resurrection of Jesus is wonderful news! The same Spirit that raised Christ from the grave lives inside of every Christian.

No Sanity Stories | Our Brother in Africa (pt. 4) Sep 02, 2020

Send us a text

Less than two years ago, there was no Gospel movement among this Muslim people group in Sub-Sahara Africa. Now, there are well over 100 Christians gathering in fellowship, teaching, discipleship, and worship.
This episode from Brody and a missionary partner summarizes Amir’s last couple of months. He’s been in hiding, praying about fleeing the country.
Amir was desperately trying to discern:

Should his path lead to martyrdom?
Or, did the Lord want his path to continue making disciples and planting churches?

Amir is from an exclusively Muslim tribe and his safety has constantly been in danger. However, his father has recently died from health complications and he’s been able to visit and encourage believers with a little more safety.

A Conversation on Pain, Suffering, & Trusting Jesus Aug 03, 2020

Send us a text

What does hope look like in the middle of suffering? Suffering isn’t easy, but the Gospel gives us hope—that’s sometimes unexplainable. Brody had a conversation with Brooke Mitchell, SWO summer staffer, about how she’s faced losing her mom to cancer earlier this year.
Brooke’s mom was diagnosed with cancer five years ago. Earlier in 2020, she found out her cancer had returned, and she passed two weeks later. Sometimes, our experience of suffering is a gift that we can provide to others.
The Lord is holding us in His hands, every day. And, He uses the Body of Christ to encourage and carry us through the most painful times.
“The Lord has a plan for this, even if I don’t see it now.”

Jacob: Comfort, Selfishness, & Failed Leadership Jul 27, 2020

Send us a text

As crazy as your family reunions are, your family isn’t quite as crazy as Jacob and his kids. His selfish deceitfulness not only impacted his family right away but also continued through several generations.
God had promised that Abraham (Jacob’s father) would be the father of many nations and that his family would bless all nations through the birth of the Messiah into his family. But it didn’t take long for the early family to reject God’s faithfulness and instruction.
Jacob left his daughter (Dinah) unsupervised in a pagan land. She was raped, and then the man demanded to marry her and join the nations. Jacob’s lack of fatherly leadership led to countless pains and difficulties for the family.
Her brothers stepped up in anger toward Shechem and the Caananites. So, the brothers used the sacred covenant of circumcision as a tool to deceive and conquer the Caananites.

SWO20 Update & Interview With Mo Jul 23, 2020

Send us a text

This week, Brody gave an update on how SWO20 Summer Camp has been going and let us in on a quick interview with his youngest son, Moses.
We’re 6 weeks into our summer at SWO20 and can’t be more thankful for the miraculous provision the Lord has made. North Carolina released some specific guidelines for operating overnight camps, so we’ve been busy implementing them!
Over 90% of overnight camps have closed down in 2020. Thankfully, through prayer, hard work from our staff, and God’s continued favor, Snowbird is going strong! This summer has proved to be one of the most effective summers of ministry. Students and leaders have been greatly impacted by the message of the Gospel!
Pray and ask the Lord to help us finish strong, and to continue protecting the Snowbird staff and students.

Jesus & His Crazy Grandmas | Ruth Jun 29, 2020

Send us a text

We serve a God that is greater than the worse of human tragedies, and He has a purpose for our redemption. Throughout the time of the Judges, “Israel did what was right in their own eyes.” But Yahweh was working His plan through it all.
Naomi was left in Moab as a widow in the far-off land of Moab, with her two daughters-in-law (also widows). In this story, Ruth immediately rises up as a young girl who is devoted to Naomi in the face of all cultural norms and threats of poverty. It would have been easier for her to return home to her pagan family and start a new life, but God had other plans. Ruth refused to leave her mother-in-law and returned with her to Bethlehem.
In one of the greatest love stories ever told, Boaz rescues Ruth from poverty and outcast by reaching across cultural lines and marrying her. Sickness, poverty, idolatry, prostitution, violence, and everything in this world is broken and brought by sin. However, our Lord reaches down and redeems the deepest of human failures for His own glory and our good.

Jesus & His Crazy Grandmas | Tamar Jun 22, 2020

Send us a text

There is no family more interesting that Jesus’ family. Rahab, Tamar, Ruth, and everyone in-between exemplifies the craziness of sin that Jesus was born into.
And yet, He came anyway. He came into our world to redeem the depth of sinfulness we know as the human existence—to rescue a people for Himself by His very death and resurrection.
6 Things About Jesus’ Family Line
1. All men live and die.
2. There is one lineage for all the people of history (Adam and Eve).
3. Jesus became fully human.
4. Jesus was the son of Adam and Son of God.
5. The lineage recorded in Matthew goes through the royal line of kings to Abraham.
6. The lineage of Jesus includes prostitutes, thieves, kings, preachers, businessmen, scholars, slave traders, warlords, and slaves.
In Tamar’s story, we see the ugliest components of humanity. She was used, abused, and tossed aside repeatedly by Judah and his family. In spite of that, Jesus redeems the story of Judah and the sins of all men by coming into our world and conquering the darkness of sin by the light of His glory.
Jesus is the Savior of the world, the Savior of sinners.

No Sanity Stories | Our Brother in Africa (pt. 3) Jun 17, 2020

Send us a text

This is Part 3 of Amir’s story. Brody and Bobby cover his capture, physical persecution, rescue, and finish with a prayer request regarding his current situation.
In the past twelve months, the Lord has greatly used Amir’s influence and raw obedience to spread the Gospel and grow the Church in their area of Africa. The church in this Africa city crossed people group lines within the first six months!
With great persecution comes the quick spread of Gospel truth. And, more persecution usually follows. Amir has refused offers of wealth and safety by his family to return to Islam because the Holy Spirit has so utterly confirmed the truths of Christ in His heart. But, he’s had a rough eighteen months. His mother died of sickness last year, and his brother was later murdered after choosing to follow Jesus.
In the midst of it all, the Church began to grow. Multiple groups of Christ-followers began to arise within the city. His purpose right now is to raise up new leaders and equip the church to continue in the faith, regardless of what the future holds.
Pray for him to walk in the faith, boldness, and wisdom of the Holy Spirit in the next several months. Hold the line for him!
“The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.” – Tertullian
“But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.” (Hebrews 10:39)

No Sanity Stories | Faith & Persecution in Africa (pt. 2) Jun 16, 2020

Send us a text

This is Part 2 of Amir’s story of salvation, discipleship, persecution, and God’s faithfulness in Africa.
The Gospel spreads through the work of church planting. Amir simply responded to God’s leading and people’s questions, and the church began to multiply. News of his miraculous rescue spread throughout the city.
People continued having similar dreams, being urged to “see the words of Jesus.” After four months, there were about fifty people meeting regularly in small groups and growing into churches. This evangelistic movement was driven by the Holy Spirit and God’s Word.
The Great Commission guides us to plant the church. Raise up pastors, leaders, deacons, and others to serve a people group so that the Gospel spreads through the work of church planting.
When people see the evidence of Christ’s power in the lives of believers, then people will respond to the message of the Gospel. Persecution will inevitably increase, and the Church will multiply. It is critical to lay a doctrinal foundation for new believers in church planting and missions.

No Sanity Stories | Faith & Persecution in Africa (pt. 1) Jun 15, 2020

Send us a text

The Word of God is a lion that simply needs to be let out of the cage. Take the leash off and turn it loose.
This is part 1 of a current story of the faith and persecution of a Muslim-background believer in Africa. Some of our missionary partners handed Amir a copy of the New Testament during a language learning class last year, and the Holy Spirit has turned his life upside down.
This part of Amir’s story covers his initial conversion from Islam to Christianity, the power of God’s Word in transforming his life, and the faith the Holy Spirit used to carry him through physical persecution.
“I cannot reject the hope that I’ve found in Jesus Christ. When I die, I’ll die with the name of Jesus on my lips.” – Amir

Jesus & His Crazy Grandmas | Rahab Jun 01, 2020

Send us a text

The mission to send spies into Jericho was a rescue mission for Rahab. Yahweh didn’t need more information about the walls of Jericho to conquer the city. He wanted to show His passion to redeem the lost and bring them into His eternal family.
The story of Rahab is an extraordinary story of courage, faith, rescue, and the power of Yahweh. Later, she marries into one of the most powerful families of Israel. Rahab, the pagan prostitute, was now grafted deeply into God’s chosen people. Centuries later, Jesus was born into the lineage of Rahab.
God didn’t send His Son into a royal lineage of religious people. Jesus was born into a family of broken people in a broken family. This story of romance and intrigue brings glory to Yahweh. Our God finds great joy in redeeming lost and broken people to Himself.

Rahab recognized the strength of the Lord.
Rahab recognized the glory of the Lord.
Rahab cried out for mercy from the Lord.

What is Biblical Exposition & Why is it so Important? | Round Table May 28, 2020

Send us a text

God's Word has the power to save lost souls and sanctify the hearts of Christians. We don’t want to read our thoughts into it, we want to get God’s thoughts out. Faithful expository preaching will drive the listener to the Gospel every time.
Two goals of expository preaching and teaching:

Communicate the passage faithfully and accurately to your listeners.
Equip the listener to interpret and study the Bible faithfully on their own.

This is why we’re committed to expository Bible teaching and ministry. It is vital that every preacher and teacher handles the Word of God with accuracy. We must communicate God’s original message and meaning from the text, and teach it in a way that is understandable by your people.

A Conversation on Parenting with Brody & Little May 21, 2020

Send us a text

Brody and Little share some deeply personal stories from their 20 years of parenting. They discuss what they've learned through biblical wisdom and life experiences to encourage other parents seeking to honor Christ and love their kids well.
Our kids will primarily learn from us. We’re preparing them to live for Jesus today, and follow Him for the rest of their lives.

“If I could re-live my whole life, I would devote my entire ministry to reaching children for God.” – D.L. Moody
“The greatest need my people have for me is my personal holiness.” – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Email Snowbird with any parenting questions you have, and we’ll connect you with other marriage resources we’ve produced.
Here are a few main points from the recording:

Recognize your children are a gift from the Lord.
Your children's view of God will be shaped by how you parent.
Recognize they are born with a sinful will, so we must teach them to obey and submit their will.

A Conversation on Marriage with Brody & Little May 18, 2020

Send us a text

Coming up on 26 years of marriage, Brody and Little have started to figure out a rhythm that is worth learning from.
Don’t listen to your heart! Think, process, and walk each day with a mind that is submitted to Christ. Don’t neglect your emotions, but push back fleshly emotions by submitting them to Christ.
The life of every Christian is about balance and intention. Find the middle ground of serving one another by engaging both your heart and mind.

Round Table | Why the Local Church Matters May 14, 2020

Send us a text

What is the value of being grafted into the local church, even as a teenager? The Snowbird teachers discuss why is this so important and share some ways to ensure you’re following the biblical model.
The body of Christ needs each member to be integrated well. You can’t be joined to Jesus, but not His body.
You have been gifted by the Holy Spirit to serve the body in ways that no one else is. When you think toward arriving at church on Sunday, think forward to how you can serve and fit into your local body in ways that bring glory to Christ.
The work of the ministry is for the body—every one of us. The local church isn’t a building, but it is an assembly. There is something beautiful about the body of Christ meeting together for worship and encouragement. The early church valued this, and we should too.

What does it take for a church (and youth pastor) to do student ministry well? It is vital that churches have a strong youth ministry.
Student ministry is a high calling, and it should be taken seriously on every level. Know your students and know how to shepherd them.

Round Table | Fighting Sin, The War is Already Won May 07, 2020

Send us a text

When your mind is right, that’s what will correct you. Habits and actions don’t give us the power to conquer sin. Remember who Christ has declared you to be. We know we need to fight sin, but how? The Bible teaches us to fight from the position of our identity as forgiven children of God.
We’re forgiven and declared righteous. By faith, we receive the righteousness of Christ and we are no longer slaves of sin. Now, we are slaves of righteousness and are constantly at war with sin.
Instead of condemnation, we can walk by the Spirit of God and submit to Him instead of our sinful desires. This is why it is so important to abide in Christ through prayer and Bible study. We will fall (sometimes a lot). But the Holy Spirit in the heart of a Christian will not let sin have the final say.
When God looks at you, He sees you through the righteousness of Jesus. This is the power that moves us towards sanctification on a daily basis. The core of who we are has been transformed and we’re going to look more like Jesus every day.

Every Man is a Theologian Apr 30, 2020

Send us a text

Fathers, how can we prepare our children with solid answers for the questions they will face when they leave our homes? We need to disciple our children by training our kids how to think about God.
A conversation with:
Zach Mabry & Brody Holloway
You don’t need a seminary degree to equip your children, but you do need to make certain you’re pointing them to the correct source of Truth.
Encourage your kids to always ask the question: “Why?”
The Christian worldview is the only worldview that adequately answers the questions of the world we live in. Humans are created in the image of God, and the Bible explains where the value of human life comes from. The Lord has written the stamp of His image on the hearts of humanity.
Right and wrong do exist. Human beings do have value. There is a plan the Lord has prepared for us after death.

King of Kings Apr 27, 2020

We were created for eternity. This is a boot camp to prepare us to reign with Christ for eternity.

Christ is King! This passage in Revelation 19 gives Christians hope for the return of Christ. We must look forward to Christ’s Second Coming and remember that He will exalt us higher than we could ever imagine in this life. Jesus is going to return and He is going to set everything right. The Church, the Bride of Christ, has an active role on that day. Jesus will clothe His bride in fine linen and purity.

Carry a Sword, Trust in the Lord Apr 23, 2020

Send us a text

How should Christians view the use of weapons for self-defense? Throughout history, God has used people (with weapons in their hands) to stop evildoers. Scripture speaks against retaliation and protecting against persecution, but also describes the reality of self-protection.
While we carry a weapon and prepare for danger, we do not trust those weapons as our savior. Our hope is in the sovereign hand of God.
Your mindset is important and your level of training is important. Carrying a weapon comes with a high level of responsibility. The charge is for men to be ready to fight and protect those around him from evil. God has placed you where you are, with godly principles, so use them to protect others.

Round Table | Dealing with Temptation Apr 20, 2020

Send us a text

How do you deal with temptation? Temptation itself is not sin. How do we live in the reality of temptation, but not yield to it?
We must be sober-minded. Our flesh is tempted to sin against the holiness of God. Temptation promises temporary satisfaction that is followed by immediate regret and shame. It’s not worth it!
Don’t focus on habits. Temptation is a desire-level issue. Don’t try to “get more motivated.” Our desires need to be renewed by Jesus. Only after that will we be able to chisel in some healthy habits.
Pray for faith. Ask God to give you practical wisdom in the moment. God’s desire is to make you more like Jesus. He has enabled us to live according to His will and fight human passions.

The Anchor of Christ in the Storm of Depression Apr 16, 2020

Send us a text

Depression and anxiety are real. And, Christians aren’t immune to them. But, there is a difference in how we deal with it. Brody and Rob Conti (Snowbird Program Director) discuss the root causes, biblical instruction, and practical steps to fight depression and anxiety.
Depression attacks each person differently—they are driven by different triggers. Abuse, sickness, injury, loss, or any number of other scenarios can tear away at our hearts. It’s important to identify the root of the pain and realize that we are not alone.
Depression affects every part of our being. It controls everything about us, but Christ brings the ability to swim through the flood. Worship the Lord from your place of depression. Give thanks to Him and rest in His goodness!

Present Sufferings & Future Glory Apr 13, 2020

How do we make sense of suffering?
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." (Romans 8:18)
What is the hardest day of your life you could imagine? Or, consider the sufferings of this present time of the Coronavirus. The suffering of this present age doesn’t compare to the glory that Christ will one day reveal. Let’s find hope and peace in that.
For the Christian, our death means eternity with God. He is infinite in His glory, power, and majesty. Our hope rests in this reality. There is something that awaits us on the other side of death, and our sufferings in this life can not compare to it. We will one day see Jesus as we never have before. We will gaze upon the full glory of Christ our King!

Does Disaster Come to a City, Unless the Lord Has Done it? Apr 06, 2020

Send us a text

"Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does disaster come to a city, unless the Lord has done it?" Amos 3:6
These words are notable for us in the midst of a global crisis. God’s people need to take note of His works and be ready with a posture of repentance. As a Christian, how should we respond to the disaster of the COVID-19 pandemic?
Amos was a shepherd who was chosen by God to serve to speak His Words to the people of Israel. God spoke judgment against the pagans peoples, then against Judah, and finally against His people (Israel). He is in command of all things, at all times.
We can’t explain every act of the Lord, but we must turn our hearts toward Him in humility and repentance. Seek the Lord, depart from wickedness, and strive for holiness. Confess personal and corporate sin, and pray for forgiveness today.

Round Table | Who Wrote the Bible and How Should We Read it? Apr 02, 2020

Send us a text

What is the verbal plenary inspiration of Scripture? The Snowbird pastors discussed the authority and accuracy of God’s Word and how God expects us to respond to it.
Every single word we read was intentionally placed there by the Holy Spirit. God used human writers to pen the exact words He ordained for us to have now.
Paul wrote in 2 Timothy that all Scripture is breathed out by God, and every word has implications for the believer. God’s Word is good and it is the final authority. We must learn what the implications were for the original context and time of the passage, and then we must obey what it means for us right now.

Doubt & Faith: Assurance of Our Salvation Mar 30, 2020

Send us a text

Have you ever doubted your salvation? Or, do you wrestle with finding assurance of things God has already promised in Scripture? The Bible teaches us that we can know we have salvation.
Doubt seems to be the most common struggle of Christians in American churches (not just students). We doubt our salvation, we doubt God’s goodness, we doubt God’s previous works, and we doubt God’s ability to do something.
Doubt is a direct attack on faith, so the way we must attack doubt is by growing our faith stronger. Growing deeper in our understanding of who God is will enable our faith to flourish and give ballast in the midst of doubt.

Go deeper into God’s Word. That’s going to stabilize you. Go deeper in my experience with God through obedience, ministry, and worship.
Be confident in the work Jesus is doing, not in the work you have done.

Quotes
“Doubt is never far from faith’s shoulder.” – Augustine
“If you’re a person who lives by faith then you’re going to have to live with doubt.”
“If you have faith in Jesus, then Jesus is the object in your faith. Jesus is revealed to us through the Word of God. So the way I grow my faith stronger is to grow my knowledge and understanding.”
“Sharing my faith grows my faith. I grow stronger when I’m telling other people about Jesus.”
“Jesus drew me out of the darkness and into the light. Jesus brought me from spiritual death into life. Jesus took me from slavery and bondage from sin and set me free and made me a slave of righteousness. Romans chapter 6. These are biblical promises. I can be confident in the work Jesus is doing, knowing that my salvation rests in the work Jesus has done, is doing, and will ultimately do.”
“How do we know what true assurance is and what false assurance is? True assurance will drive you to worship Jesus and serve Him. Where false assurance will drive me away from God.”

The Crazy Rise and Fall of David Mar 23, 2020

Send us a text

Whatever God gives you, make sure to be faithful with that—even if it seems little right now. The Lord will bless and give you more responsibility. King David was chosen by God and anointed as the new king while serving his father as a young shepherd.
He showed periods of strong faithfulness and obedience, then fell hard in several key areas of life. David killed Goliath, but at the end of David’s life Israel still hadn’t driven out their enemies.
No matter what you do, no matter where you’ve been, you cannot out-sin the grace of Jesus. You cannot halt the power and ability of Jesus to forgive you. And that should give us strength, hope, and encouragement.
References

1 Samuel 16-31
2 Samuel 5-10

Quotes
“Then all of a sudden, David falls. He just falls, he crashes and he crashes hard. But what’s beautiful about the story is David’s reaction. It’s one of repentance. When we’re confronted with our own sin we tend to either blame someone else or make excuses. When you’re confronted with your own failure (your own sin) do you tend to blame someone else? Do you tend to make an excuse? David does neither to Nathan and instead says, ‘I’ve sinned against the Lord.’”
“There are two things…that I want to leave with you. The first one is repentance. This is what repentance looks like: Humbling of myself and admission of my sin. The second thing is humility. True repentance is always going to come with humility. If I’m making an excuse for my sin, that’s not true repentance. If I’m justifying my action, that’s not true repentance. Humility always accompanies repentance. So if I’m humble before the Lord and humble before others, then my repentance will be sincere.”

No Sanity Stories | Sunita Mar 16, 2020

Send us a text

God’s Word is life-giving and life-changing for the believer who fully submits to it. This story from a trip to India transformed Brody’s approach to his time in the Bible. This episode examines the power and practicality of God’s Word for all of life.
God’s Word is clear and powerful to accomplish its purposes. It’s the best-selling book throughout the world, but yet why do we let it sit on our shelves collecting dust?
Do you value the Bible in your daily life? Be faithful to open God’s Word every day. Open your heart and mind to it, He will speak to you through His Word.

Quotes
"It was very convicting for me because I think we come up with a lot of excuses for why we’re not going to read the Bible, why we’re not going to study the Bible."

It’s too hard.
It’s too complicated.
I don’t have time.
I’m not a morning person.
I study at night but then I get distracted and then I’m tired, my mind is not fresh.

"We come up with reasons and it’s real easy to just not study the Scripture or not read the Bible but I guarantee if you will be faithful, as a believer, to open God’s Word every day, open your heart and mind to it, read God’s word, He will speak to you through His Word. I believe that with all my heart.”

Beyond the Flannelgraph | David and Goliath Mar 06, 2020

Send us a text

David and Goliath is not a story about facing your fears. David is a type of Christ in Scripture, his life was meant to point us to Christ.
Many of us heard Bible stories repetitively in their childhood. But, too many times the stories of Scripture lose their meaning and focus on Christ. Our Beyond the Flannel Graph series is going to tackle these familiar Bible narratives by refocusing on the grand story of God’s Word.
The story of David points to the Gospel. David’s life teaches us about the Gospel.

Nothing Can Eclipse your Call to Christ Mar 06, 2020

Send us a text

This was the greatest gift my dad ever gave me. He looked at me with tears and said, “Son, I had a successful ministry and success life. And I allowed myself to get wrapped up in that.” His failures and mistakes shape who I am today—as a father, as a husband, and as a leader. The first step of reconciliation was tough but God used it in rich ways for my growth and sanctification.
Brody’s father fell back into sexual addition that he struggled with before he was a believer. His successes and failures affected everything and everyone around him, but God’s grace is bigger than the failures of our parents.
Christians, we need to remember that we are children of God. You might be a school teacher, a pastor, a fighter pilot, or you might be a combat veteran who wrestles with finding their identity outside of the service. You might be retired and trying to find your identity. You may be a young woman or a young man who is starting your career right now is the time to establish that your identity is in Christ.
Don’t pursue the approval of others—it will eclipse your main focus of knowing Christ and becoming more like Him. Then, you’ll be pursuing whatever you think you need to be or what others think you need to be. It’s a slippery slope.
Who you are is determined by how you perceive Jesus and what you do with Him. As we pursue Christ and allow Him to conform us more into His image, that is going to form and shape our identity.
Resources

Romans 8:28-30

Quotes
“When Jesus saved us, redeems us, and begins to set us free from the controls and dominions of sin, one of the things He sets us free from is the weight of someone else’s failure that impacts us.”
“If we can see how God can use that for His glory and our good- because people, persecution and hardship either crushes/destroys them or makes them stronger.”
“I allowed my call to ministry to be eclipsed to the greater call God has on all of our lives that is the call to be conformed into the image of Jesus.”

Take a Day Off, Get Mauled by a Lion pt. 2 Mar 06, 2020

Send us a text

There are no days off in the Christian life. Every day, when our feet hit the floor, we are engaged in a spiritual war. We’ve got to fight with courage and perseverance. The instinct of our flesh is to drift away from holiness and toward the worship of ourselves and other idols.
Jeroboam became king over the northern kingdom of Israel but didn’t have Jerusalem (and the Temple) within his reign. He created two golden calves that his kingdom of Northern Israel could worship. An entire new religious system was born.
So, God sent a prophet from Judah up to Bethel to prophesy God’s judgment against the false priests (and Jeroboam). The prophet proclaimed God’s words with courage and boldness in the face of King Jeroboam’s anger.
Sadly, the man of God was then deceived by an old prophet while on the way home and didn’t obey the Lord’s command to return straight home.
References

1 Kings 12-13

Quotes
“Every day when our feet hit the floor we are at war spiritually and so every day we’ve got to fight.”
“Your relationship with the Lord is so critical, how you view God is so critical you can’t take a break from that. It’s a relationship. God is not just an object of our worship, He is our Lord. He is the lover of our souls, He draws us into a relationship and I’ve got to stay tuned. I can’t afford to take any days off.”
“Be careful, lest you drift away.”
“No one ever drifts toward holiness, that is a constant fight you’ve got to be constantly aware. Take your focus and you stop fixing your eyes on Jesus and you can drift away.”

You can experience the goodness of the Lord, obey the Lord for a time, exercise the wisdom that comes from God, and worship Him. But don’t let pride creep in. Don’t give in to distraction from the world. Don’t forget your desperate need for Jesus.
Don’t take your eyes off Jesus, any of us can fall away.
King Solomon asked God for wisdom. The Lord was pleased and granted him wisdom and riches. It seemed like Solomon was on the right path to follow the Lord as a godly king. But that’s not how the story ends.
“Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father, only he sacrificed and made offerings at the high places.” (1 Kings 3:3)
He didn’t remain faithful to the Lord. He started by building the Temple for Israel to worship Yahweh. Solomon wrote a lot of songs, married a lot of women, and followed false gods.
In the end, his heart had turned away from the Lord. Don’t quit worshipping Jesus. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Focus on God and His Word and love Him. And surround yourself with others who will speak truth into your life and help keep you on the path you need to be on.
“So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and did not wholly follow the LORD, as David his father had done. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain east of Jerusalem. And so he did for all his foreign wives, who made offerings and sacrificed to their gods. And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the LORD commanded.” (1 Kings 11:6-10)

Quotes
“You can see the goodness of the Lord, experience the goodness of the Lord, walk in faithfulness and obedience to the Lord and exercise the wisdom that comes from God. You can worship Him, love Him — even write extensively songs of praise. Others might think, “man that person loves Jesus, that person really loves God”, and in the end how quickly and easily you can take your eyes off Jesus and fall away.”
“I see this a lot, where people start strong, live strong for a season and they fall away…I pray that I stay strong till the end, I pray that for you too, let’s walk with the Lord by fixing our eyes on Jesus and His Word with all the days of our lives. Stay faithful, stay true, and He will keep you. He won’t let you fall away, and the reward will be great, it will be one of faithfulness and peace.”

Why "No Sanity Required"? Mar 04, 2020

Send us a text

If you live your life for Jesus, in total abandonment of everything else, then people are going to think you’re crazy. It doesn’t make sense from the world’s perspective. Let’s live, teach, and grow to believe so wholeheartedly in Jesus that we are willing to abandon all earthly wisdom.
No Sanity Required has been the battle cry of Snowbird for years and for good reason.
Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians that both Jews and Gentiles considered him foolish for believing the Gospel message. It’s insanity in the eyes of the world—and that’s a good thing. The Gentiles couldn’t understand why Jesus would let people kill Him, and the Jews weren’t connecting the dots in the Old Testament that pointed to Jesus’s role as the Messiah (God the Son). The Gospel pushed back the darkness of paganism and brought true understanding to the Jewish religious beliefs.
Christian, you have been set free from sin, and now free to obey Christ! This is where true joy and fulfillment is found. What the Gospel demands, Jesus fulfills and provides for us. Hope, peace, freedom, and joy are found in Christ alone.
There is No Sanity Required — Simply a need to pursue Jesus, love Him and give His message to the world. Let’s learn to understand more clearly who Jesus is, what He expects from us, and what He offers us.
We don’t need sanity, we need Jesus.
Read the mission and history of Snowbird.
Quotes
“We are proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ…focused on the right and proper handling of God’s Word to equip and disciple young people, men and women, families and to be a ministry that partners with local churches all across America and even the world. That’s who we are and what we do.”
“If I’m a fool, I’m a fool for Christ’s sake.”
“No Sanity Required is the idea that if you live your life for Jesus, in total abandonment of everything else, and with focused and a wholehearted pursuit of Jesus, then you will live in obedience to Him and you worship Him. If you follow Him and give your life wholly to Jesus, then people are going to think you’re crazy. They’re going to think that doesn’t make sense. In the world’s knowledge and ideology, it doesn’t make sense. It is insanity.”
“In the world’s eyes, there is insanity to a true pursuit of Christ.”
“Let’s live and teach and grow and disciple in a Christianity that the world looks at and goes, ‘this is crazy.’ These people, they’re willing to go to the ends of the earth, they’re willing to do whatever it takes to reach others for the Gospel. They believe so whole-heartedly in the Gospel of Jesus Christ that they will abandon all earthly wisdom.”
“Christ sets us free from everything but the Gospel. What the Gospel demands Christ fulfills and then gives to us and now we’re free to just obey and follow Him and worship Him, that to the world is insanity, is foolishness to the world.”
